    Taking the time to say thank you for putting together this video. I lost count how many videos I watched trying to find a solution for my issue, yours was the one! Thank you both.

    I am so happy you posted this video and that I found it! We took our Class C motorhome out for the first time this year. After we dewinterized and filled up the water heater we found that we didn't have any hot water.........exactly like in your video. I'll definitely check that check valve. I'm betting that is the problem. Thanks for a great video!

      I had to investigate all the piping in order to rule out any other valves. Glad it wasn't worse than it was.

    I watched this video I'm on the road for months with 25 year old bounder it happened to me. Could not remove the valve it just would not crack open .Gave up then realized it was the supply line coming from cold supply. Snaked it with a thick solid piece of wire and all this like soap was clogging it. Thanks for the video
